Suriya's movie Kanguva has had a surprising turn of events after its release. Although it received an average response at the box office, the film is now being considered for a major achievement. It has made it to the list of contenders for the Oscars 2025, competing with over 323 films from around the world. This unexpected news quickly went viral on the internet.
When Kanguva was first released, the film faced criticism for several reasons. Fans and critics complained about the loud sound score, and many felt the film didn't give enough screen time to its other actors.
The movie also failed to meet expectations at the box office, with the final collection standing at just Rs. 96 crores, falling short of the Rs. 100 crore mark. This was disappointing, especially considering the film had been made with a huge budget of Rs. 350 crore.
Despite these challenges, Kanguva has now received recognition in a very prestigious way.
The news that it is a contender for the Oscars 2025 has excited many of Suriya's fans.

They expressed their happiness online, celebrating the fact that the film has made it to such a big platform. However, many people were also surprised. After the film didn’t perform well at the box office, many did not expect it to be recognized at such a high level.
The movie, directed by Siruthai Siva, features popular actors like Suriya, Bobby Deol, and Disha Patani. After its theatrical release, it was also made available for online streaming on Amazon Prime Video starting December 8, allowing more people to watch it digitally.
Despite the underwhelming response to the film’s release, Kanguva's inclusion in the list of Oscar contenders is a major accomplishment.
This is a big moment for the filmmakers and the cast, especially Suriya, who has a massive fan base. While the film's journey at the box office may have been difficult, this achievement proves that its artistic value might be recognized on a global stage.
The film’s success as an Oscar contender is proof that even movies that don't do well commercially can still find recognition in the international film community.
